Call and Recall Team Administration ManagerinWelwyn Garden CityinWelwyn Garden CityPUBLISHED TUE 22 OCT 2024

Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust (HCT) provides community-based healthcare services in Hertfordshire, West Essex and parts of the East of England with a value driven approach that is innovative, caring and agile. HCT's Child Health Information Service and Community and School Aged Immunisation Service (CSAIS) work together with other stakeholders to identify eligible individuals and provide immunisations in community and school settings, as well as providing dynamic responses to disease outbreaks wherever required.

The role is to manage a team of call and recall administrators and develop the service offer. The call and recall service is a virtual call centre which contacts parents and carers of defined cohorts of children and young people, and other adults, to advise them that vaccines are due and either books into existing HCT clinics or directs individuals to the GP.
